For a computer policy that has a script object in it, is it possible to update the script parameters via the API? I found in the classic api documentation (seen below) that you can update some parts of a policy with xml. Would it be possible to update a specific parameter (7 in this case) for a script. Ideally that would be the only thing that would change.

 

 

<policy> <general> <name>Firefox</name> <enabled>true</enabled> <trigger>string</trigger> <trigger_checkin>false</trigger_checkin> <trigger_enrollment_complete>false</trigger_enrollment_complete> <trigger_login>false</trigger_login> <trigger_logout>false</trigger_logout> <trigger_network_state_changed>false</trigger_network_state_changed> <trigger_startup>false</trigger_startup> <trigger_other>string</trigger_other> <frequency>Once per computer</frequency> <location_user_only>false</location_user_only> <target_drive>/</target_drive> <offline>false</offline> <category> <id>-1</id> <name>Unknown</name> </category> <network_limitations> <minimum_network_connection>No Minimum</minimum_network_connection> <any_ip_address>true</any_ip_address> </network_limitations> <network_requirements>Any</network_requirements> <site> <id>-1</id> <name>None</name> </site> </general> <scope> <all_computers>true</all_computers> <computers/> <computer_groups/> <buildings/> <departments/> <limit_to_users> <user_groups/> </limit_to_users> <limitations> <users/> <user_groups/> <network_segments/> <ibeacons/> </limitations> <exclusions> <computers/> <computer_groups/> <buildings/> <departments/> <users/> <user_groups/> <network_segments/> <ibeacons/> </exclusions> </scope> <self_service> <use_for_self_service>true</use_for_self_service> <self_service_display_name>Install Firefox</self_service_display_name> <install_button_text>Install</install_button_text> <reinstall_button_text>Reinstall</reinstall_button_text> <self_service_description>Install or update Firefox to version 48.0.2.</self_service_description> <force_users_to_view_description>false</force_users_to_view_description> <self_service_icon/> <feature_on_main_page>false</feature_on_main_page> <self_service_categories> <category> <id>1</id> <name>Applications</name> <display_in>true</display_in> <feature_in>false</feature_in> </category> </self_service_categories> <notification>false</notification> <notification>Self Service</notification> <notification_subject>Install Firefox</notification_subject> <notification_message/> </self_service> </policy>

 

 

Yes, it can be done. What language are you wanting to use? I'm doing it with powershell.


Currently I'm writing all my scripts in bash because I'm very much a novice and that's what has clicked with me the best so far (probably because it’s the most simple from what I have gathered)

Assuming it's XML that you're using, can you share how you have it set up?

Here is a powershell example you can use. Set your jamf server info on lines 4-6. Then you'll want to set the variables on lines 70-74 before the setJamfScriptParam function runs.
